snoop1130 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 A school bus carrying 40 students lost control, flipped and crashed into a traffic light pole in Kaeng Sanam Nang district, Nakhon Ratchasima, resulting in 16 students aged between 10 and 17 sustaining injuries. The incident unfolded on Niwetrat Road, as confirmed by Police Lieutenant Colonel Paphon Chaisaksri, investigation chief at Kaeng Sanam Nang Police Station, who was notified about the incident at 7.30am today. Upon arrival at the scene, police and rescue workers discovered the overturned school bus in the middle of the road. All the injured students were immediately rushed to a local hospital for treatment. While a majority of the students suffered minor injuries and were discharged after treatment, three students remained hospitalised for further medical attention. The driver, known only as 52 year old Chainarong, informed the police that he was transporting the students from the Kaeng Sanam Nang district to schools in the Bua Yai district when the crash occurred. Chainarong’s account of the incident reveals that he accelerated to cross the intersection as the traffic light was changing from green to red during the busy morning rush hour. However, he lost control of the bus, causing it to hit the traffic light pole and overturn.

Probably only 24 students tomorrow; and if they've got any sense, they won't get on the bus! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried to jump the lights=fail. Those seats really? in a bus! I see the 'new' seat belt law is working well then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That allows drivers to safely leave the intersection. So maybe the driver entered the intersection on orange instead of stopping? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
